Intraoperative echocardiography has emerged as a new technique by which the cardiac surgeon can more precisely define the operative anatomy and physiology, immediately evaluate the results, and more accurately monitor left ventricular function in the operating room. This review summarizes the current applications of intraoperative two-dimensional and Doppler echocardiography in both the epicardial and transesophageal forms, and discusses the advantages and possible limitations of these methods in the practice of clinical cardiac surgery.
